Personalities:

xxxxxxxxxxHeather
xxxx{ + } [Count Your Blessings] [incredibly optimistic, holds strongly to the belief that everything happens for a reason, just might take a while to see why.]
xxxx{ + } [Cream and Sugar] [manners, soft temperament, she tries to always maintain as kind a demeanor as she possibly can. in her mind happy thoughts make the world go 'round, so she wants to get as many out there as humanly possible--it'd be nice if such things could be infectious, too~]
xxxx{ + } [Penny for Your Thoughts?] [empathetic to sympathetic, she's always willing to help someone out with... well, anything she can. from assisting in class projects to being a shoulder to cry on--or ear to rant to, she's ok with whatever!--she'll apply whatever random knowledge she might loosely have to assist somehow. or y'know, just order her around and tell her everything that needs to get done. that works too]

xxxx{ - } [If Everything Happens for a Reason....] [bit more on the gullible side than she should ever be for her own good, this largely stems from her all but need for things to work out in the end... something that makes her a bit naive to the concept that sometimes people are just mean to be mean, and bad things can in fact happen to good people without any rhyme or reason--or rather, she knows these things happen, she just cannot for the life of her pick out when someone is saying crap to her face to make her re-evaluate something big in her life to make some huge life change.... or when someone's just being a d**k and she needs to just not at all listen to them]
xxxx{ - } [Define Planning] [yeah she was the student who'd just write a paper without even attempting to put together an outline first, and she's still not good at even putting together a grocery list never mind sticking to it. she's the person who just jumps and hopes for a net to be there or maybe for her to sprout wings, and uh.... that doesn't always happen! not that she doesn't heavily regret the consequences, she just has a tendency to get too caught up in the moment to kinda remember what happened the last time she jumped before she looked down...]
xxxx{ - } [Covering My Ears like a Kid] [literally she will stick her fingers in her ears and go LALALALALALA until you stop saying something negative, or, y'know, realistic to her that might in any way shatter her lovely rose-colored world. yes she knows bad things can happen for no reason, yes she understands people can just be mean... but until everything blows up in her face she'd really just rather NOT listen to all that and just keep her fingers crossed that things will work out and there'll be this beautiful sunrise and everything will be awesome and... can you just not rain on her parade please???]


xxxxxxxxxxNichneven
xxxx{ + } [You've Got a Spark in Your Eye~] [nurturing people is what she does best, especially once she's caught sight of some pretty talent of theirs. she coddles, she coos, she is oh so happy to prop people up and shower them with praise and actual constructive criticism because she wants to nurture that spark of whatever it is that caught her eye on the person in the first place. always it's something that SHE wants out of them but hey semantics]
xxxx{ + } [One and Done] [awesome memory, she's got a mind for names, places, timelines, numbers--almost photographic, but usually so colored by her own perceptions and biases that while she CLAIMS to remember everything exactly uh... buyer beware? she does keep extremely good track of things though]
xxxx{ + } [Devil in the Detail] [if she could organize the world into her perfect routines and regimes oh hun she'd do it in a heartbeat. she loves her plans, loves her organization and details and every tiny tidbit of information she can get ahold of to better be prepared for.... well, anything in theory. which means Heather's "leap first hope you can fly later" antics has her pulling her proverbial hair out]

xxxx{ - } [My Rule You Fool] [it's either her way or the highway and g'luck telling her otherwise. it's perhaps her greatest bane of being a weapon--she can yell all she wants at Heather but she can't pick her up and toss her in the direction she wants the girl to go. if she would just LISTEN and do it HER WAY everything would be FINE...]
xxxx{ - } [Everyone Loves Dramatics] [a pathological liar with a narcissistic flare doesn't usually bode well for playing with others. she'll say what she thinks she has to to worm her way into their good graces and do all she can to help build up whatever it is about them she likes... and she'll be lying every breath she takes in the process. she can't even tell you how a walk down the street went without bursting out with all these fabulous tales and they're all entirely lies and if you don't catch her in her lies she will spin one hell of a web around you]
xxxx{ - } [Darling I Know How Your Story Ends] [snide remarks galore, she builds people up... and she can also try to tear them right back down. if she's learned any sensitive info about someone, that information will come right back up to bite them in the a** when she flings it right on back at them in the worst way she can come up with. while Heather would be extremely reluctant to use anything relayed by her weapon, she's the constant victim to Neven's brutal "honesty," as the blade refers to it. she talks herself up to knowing how everything will be--likely not even close--and is enough of a b***h to use any resource at her disposal to send someone crashing down]

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?

[ Grew up with her sister Lilac and mom for a while, but when mom kinda uh.... lost it after their grandmother passed, she stuck to her sister like glue. She'd been classed as a kid with "overactive imagination," with various child paintings depicting creatures with strange shapes--Heather called them fairies, everyone else called them imaginary friends. As her mom got more depressed and sick, she turned to what she thought were helpful forces and began making prayers and lighting candles to ask for her family to stay strong and be protected... especially from the not so nice shadows she'd catch glimpses of here and there around their home. She started to think her and Lilac being placed with their aunt and uncle was the answer to that, and over time turned to Irish Paganism as what she believed to be the source of the positive energy through her life. She tried to convince her sister a few times the shadows and nightmares were signs from the deities, and when that... didn't go so well, Heather became more closed off about her beliefs around her family--her aunt and uncle just thought she was a bit eccentric, that's all. ]


Weapon Ability
Tainted Fang { Kiss of the Muse }

[ Fancy description text later, pretty much when Neven is charged up, should any part of the blade touch an opponent's body it leaves behind a mark that looks.... like a rune-ish looking lipstick mark, in fact. Only it causes an immense searing, corroding sensation that just keeps on getting worse the longer it's on someone. ]


Physical Description:

Please refer to this coat guide and this weapon guide!


Eye Colour: Bright sky blue, round and heavily lashed
Hair Colour/Style: Brown and long, it reaches almost to her knees with ringlets at the ends. She prefers to keep her hair up in side ponytails and buns pinned up with pretty ties and clips. She's dyed part of her bangs purple and just lets them fall around her face as they will.
Skin Colour: Pale Caucasian, more prone to burning than any sort of tan
Clothing Style/Colours: [ Coat + scarf/sash ..... Skirts and dresses are the preferred, usually of vibrant purples, blues, greens, or some collection of floral or galaxy patterns. Over them she'll layer cardigans, shirts, and any loose top she can find in black, grey, or brown. Leggings? Tights? Please, in any crazy pattern or cut she can get her hands on. Ankle boots or higher are a must--anything less just feels a bit too dainty. Accessory wise she's got numerous piercings in both ears, and wears as many necklaces and bracelets as she can get away with...]
